Account of the lutnlahinasnd aUig
gie of Ibis poor Finitialt girl have
tuuehed many hoarta, Tli rough marvel
out peraeverutica, and mwling ever
olwlucle with firm and cheerful heart,
the lias conquered all ilillicullica, aim
now rejoictt In tho well eurtied honor
of having been the 11 rat of her country
women to receive a diploma a doctor
of pliilotophy.
. When s young girl watching her
father's cattle tii was filled with
yearning thai (he could not exprcm
to know what book and ttudy could
teach her concerning the wonder of
uieuc and the wiadom of the paat,
and then and there, upon the bleak
mountain of her native land, the de
termined that nothing but death itself
thou Id hinder her lucces.
Under th in (luetic of dark clouds,
through which no ray of light gleam
ed, she for a time prayed earnestly
that the dear Ood would take her to
himself, feeling ture that then sll
knowledge would be unfolded to tor.
This suite of atfuir having reached
the ear of a humble pastor, interest
was made for herentrance Into a good
school, whore she paiwed as fourth
among fortyaix young girls. She was
then 18 year of age, and all this had
been accomplished through intonae
end earnest will.
Bitting up all night, while others
slept, to prepare for llie next dav's
tasks, often Tutting, "save for the
fresh snow iho ate as she walked,"
was as nothing if so be she could con
tinue her work the great plan to
which hor soul clung tcnucioualy.
Then came an exiorieiico of teach
ing, and after having utvod four pounds
the again sot forth in quest of knowl
edge. "With the scantiest of luggnge,"
she journeyed on foot to Iloltingfors,
where alio prepared for her examina
tion. Three pounds of her small store
wore paid in advance for lodging, and
this made her sure of a home for the
winter. The last pound was expondad
in loaves of hard, round rye bread
the choupcHt kind of nourishment with
which she could provide horaclf, and
which was so methodically divided
that every dtty until Christina a bit
was sure. No (lie had she even when
the temperature was recorded at 30
dogroes. But her soul was on (Ire, for
a friendly profcHgor gave her instruc
tion! in Latin, and very rapid was her
progress.
After hor matriculation she taught
awhile to holp her family, and still
went on with hor own studies, until
"a well earned brilliant degree" was
her reward. .
Strangely enough, her greatest op
position was from hor own sex, but
bravely triumphing over even that,
she was "recognized by her nation as
the dauntless pioneorof woman's prog
ress," The statement given concerning this
wonderful woman adds that she still
lives, honored anil appreciated by all,
devoting herself heartily to tho educa
tion of younger brothers, and adding
continually to her own hard earned
culture, hor whole soul bent on the ad
vancement and education of her ooun
trywomen. Harper's B'azar
